I actually agree with you in that th...Good review! I actually agree with you in that this flavor is strange because neither the marshmallow swirl nor the marshmallow base taste like marshmallow. I was expecting a "marshmallow fluff" flavor, so I was a bit disappointed. I wish it were a little sweeter. The very unique flavor is difficult to describe, as you mentioned, but I kind of like it, too! It sort of grows on you. While I hate nuts in my ice cream, I loved the fudge covered nuts in this flavor because the chocolate and saltiness of the almond enhances the mellow ice cream flavor. I enjoyed eating this ice cream because just when I thought I was getting only 2 or 3 fudge covered almonds, more and more kept appearing as I kept digging my way through the pint, which was really exciting and fun since I did not expect it. <br /><br />Like you, Dubba, I am still on the fence about trying this again. It was a respectable flavor but there are better flavors out there. I would like to see them use this flavor and swirl again and add fudge covered marshmallow peeps, instead of fudge covered almonds, to get a stronger marshmallow flavor. Knowing B&J, they can find a clever, funny name for it. <br /><br />Dubba, if you want an ice cream with a true marshmallow flavor, try Dairy Queen's marshmallow sundae. The marshmallow topping tastes just like marshmallow fluff and when combined with the vanilla ice cream, you get very sweet, marshmallow treat! (I just wish they would have added rice krispies treat pieces for depth and texture.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384329692727378622.post-76267147251576845332012-03-03T19:39:29.329-05:002012-03-03T19:39:29.329-05:00Dubba, I just ate an entire pint of this and STILL...Dubba, I just ate an entire pint of this and STILL don't know what the heck I ate! I totally get what you mean when you say you're at a loss for words to descride this one. It has a taste and yet doesn't, kinda like a sweet cream ice cream. The chocolate covered almonds definatly save this treat and I don't even like almonds - or do I?!? It's definatly a bizarro Rocky Roadish flavor, and yes it went down easy, albeit I probably wouldn't buy it again. I give it a 7/10: Nice try but like Lady Gaga, I just don't get it!Daniellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384329692727378622.post-90223190257695290242012-01-25T18:48:04.791-05:002012-01-25T18:48:04.791-05:00I added coconut to the second half of my pint.

I had a similar thought about Ben and Jerry's Cinnamon Buns - which is so sweet it makes my teeth hurt and doesn't have enough variance to keep the flavor interesting. But I still love it.
